THE RUNDOWN
WACO, Texas - Baylor (12-14, 4-4) earned a series win over Oklahoma (17-12, 2-3) with a 7-2 victory Saturday afternoon at Baylor Ballpark. The Bears received their second straight complete game from a starter as Drew Tolson only gave up two hits.
At first, it appeared to be a long day for Tolson as he was uncharacteristically wild in the first inning. Two walks came around to score on a triple by Sheldon Neuse to put the Bears down 2-0 right away.
However, Tolson quickly regrouped and retired 13 straight batters to allow the BU offense time to get rolling. The Bears backed up their starter with two big innings, scoring three in the fourth and four in the seventh.
The fourth inning started with Duncan Wendel reaching on a one-out error. An out and Aaron Dodson single later, Kameron Esthay singled in a run and Matt Menard followed with a two-run single to put Baylor up 3-2.
In the seventh, Logan Brown and Hayden Ross reached with one out after both were hit by a pitch. After an intentional walk to Wendel and strikeout by Mitch Price, Dodson came through with a big two-run single. Both Esthay and Menard followed with RBI singles to give the Bears a 7-2 edge.
Tolson (1-5) earned the win with career highs of nine innings pitched and seven strikeouts, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks. OU starter Alec Hansen (3-3) took the loss after giving up five runs on six hits and one walk with eight strikeouts in 6.1 innings.

QUOTE OF THE GAME
"[Drew Tolson] walked a couple of guys in the first. [Sheldon] Neuse is a good player and he gave up the triple to him, but it seemed like after that the balls they hit well they kept in the park. They couldn't get one out of the park. He just got sharp. He did some things that were really good and got nine innings done in under 100 pitches, which is something you don't see hardly anymore." - Baylor head coach Steve Smith
